Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 will be launched today: here is everything you need to know.

When Xiaomi introduced its Mi MIX smartphone for the first time two years ago, it was considered a pioneering design. The phone has completely removed the top frame, allowing the screen to stretch to the top edge. This design innovation continues even with the Mi MIX 2 and Mi MIX 2S models. However, smartphones have presented a big compromise; the front camera was in a rather uncomfortable position at the bottom of the phone.

Xiaomi will finally propose a solution to this problem with the Mi MIX 3, which is to be launched today at an event in China. The latest flagship smartphone of the company will also be the most successful to date. Rendering leaks and reports revealed much of what could be expected from the new smartphone. Here's everything we know so far about the upcoming Xiaomi Mi MIX 3.

Slider for the front camera

While the Xiaomi Mi MIX series has so far the front camera at the bottom of the screen, the Mi MIX 3 finds the way to bring it back to the top without losing the screen aspect or the integration of 'a notch. The configuration of the front camera will be placed on a manual slider, which can be quickly and easily moved when needed.

This new chipset could be manufactured on the manufacturing process at 7nm, and also incorporate a 5G modem for data connectivity.

Not only that, but the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 could push the RAM to a new high. The device could be endowed with 10GB of RAM on its high-end version, with up to 512GB of storage. The phone could also have a larger battery of 3850 mAh, as well as a dual rear camera with a 16 megapixel primary sensor and a 20 megapixel secondary sensor for an effect depth and lossless zoom.

Screen

The signature of the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 will be its screen. Thanks to its design, the phone will push the screen / body ratio farther than it has ever been, with virtually no space other than the screen at the front, except for a thin area for the chin.

The phone may have a 6.4-inch Full HD + display with a 19.5: 9 aspect ratio, and leave the check box clear to avoid typical problems with how applications reach the cutout of the screen. 'screen. For now, the way the phone will integrate biometric authentication is unclear. It can be a face unlock or a built-in fingerprint sensor, as expected on the OnePlus 6T.

Availability

Today's launch takes place on Xiaomi's Chinese national market, and the phone should be launched there first. According to trends, Xiaomi could also bring Mi MIX 3 to India in November. Pricing will be critical and Xiaomi could set the phone at less than 40,000 rupees for the base variant if it is launched here. The higher variants could see the price approaching 50,000 rupees, although it is likely that Xiaomi will only launch one or two variants in India rather than the whole range.
